-Proverbs 29:18
-Vision motivates a ministry forward
-Vision consumes a person’s thinking
“Vision without action is a daydream”
“Action without vision is a nightmare”

4. To help us change

a. What am I doing now to fulfill the vision?
b. I need to force myself to change.
c. I need to energize my efforts (what more can I be doing?)

5. We need to know what our vision is all about
6. We must be mindful of vision killers

a. Complacency
b. Carnality
c. Carelessness
